Sami S David, MD

I don’t have time to write a full review right now, but had to post to say I couldn’t disagree more with Sara C. I have been to many REs over the years, and have never been to someone as thorough as Dr David. The $ 800 appointment she mentioned is where he asks a million questions about your habits and lifestyle to figure out what needs to change. No other doctor has ever taken the time to do that.
She talks about going to a «reputable» doctor… I guess that means a doctor who will take your money and do IVF, which is likely to fail if you haven’t taken the effort to get your body healthy… which is exactly Dr David’s goal.
Also, his staff is one of the most professional I’ve ever encountered. I can’t remember whether or not they called to confirm appointments, but really, we are grown ups and can write down and remember our own appointments I would think.

After one of the «best fertility doctors in NY» advised us to schedule IVF because my tubes were supposedly blocked, we heard great things about Dr. David and went to him for a second opinion. He said he believed they were not blocked and performed a hysterosalpingogram while he was taking care of the polypectomy that needed removal anyway. He confirmed they were not blocked. Not long after that we conceived our biggest joy. Now we are expecting a (surprise) baby girl in July. We are more fertile than we thought, thanks to Dr. David, and no IVF necessary. What a blessing!

This review is not created by any PR machine. Just someone who is grateful to have found Dr.David. This is a rather candid review which I hope will spare someone some of the stress and incredible discouragement I went through.
I had seen 2 well regarded RE’s in New York City, one highly regarded RE in Denver, and emailed two hospitals in Israel about my situation namely a virtually negligible AMH. Two of the three American doctors told me I needed donor eggs. The third America doctor suggested IVF with my own eggs and immediately walked me over to his finance department to discuss a payment plan. While the two Israeli doctors both told me there was no reason for me to travel to Israel for IVF because I «might be able to get pregnant on my own».
Needles to say, I was at a complete loss as to what to do. I was certain of only two things: that I don’t want to give up on having my own biological child and I didn’t want to spend a fortune on IVF just to be told I had «bad eggs». I asked the lead IVF nurse at the last clinic if she could test me for standard fertility issues and was told there’s nothing to test for and that I should just use donor eggs.
When I finally spoke with Dr. David, my initial response to his optimism was «Yeah…right…» Matter of fact, I was so discourage I was already shopping for egg donors when I found out that I was pregnant less than three months after our Skype call… and all it took was a $ 10 bottle of progesterone supplements. I’m now the frazzled parent of a healthy girl. I suspect had I pursued IVF with my low functioning ovaries it would have failed.

Ladies save your money and your precious time. This doc doesn’t publish success results, doesn’t accept insurance and his first consult is an hour by phone or Skype, for $ 800. Spend $ 10 or whatever the price is on Amazon for his book and and go to a more credible RE. I’ve seen a google review that his reputation is created by a PR machine (including reviews here) and I agree. Phone staff is rude, doesn’t bother to call to confirm appointments (and lies about it), is impatient when you try to confirm contact details; their attitude is that they don’t need you, and you SURE don’t need them – especially when time is of the essence. Don’t let them take advantage of this fact.

Dr Sami and his team are absolutely wonderful. From the front desk staff to the WPHN they are very professional, supportive and caring. They look at everything and follow you very closely answering any questions you may have at ANYtime of the day. I would highly recommend 5^th avenue fertility to anyone!

Excellent doctor– he is VERY knowledgable, thorough, caring and is passionate about fertility. i have learned important things about my health because of tests at Dr David’s office. the staff is also excellent and they really listen to you and monitor you. i’ve been to many facilities for consults and i have to say this is the best one in my opinion.

I am 40 years old and had four IUIs and two IVFs before I visited Dr. David. I wasn’t unsatisfied with my fertility clinic, but wanted to get an alternative second opinion. Dr. David performed his thorough diagnostics and didn’t find any abnormality. During the process he did offer some suggestions for conceiving and I will never know whether that made me pregnant or I just got lucky. Anyway, from week four to week eighth Jessica McWalters, WHNP guided and closely monitored me through this period. She was very professional, reliable, caring through the whole process. I can only recommend her and the practice! Great experience!
